Night Sweats

Now, nope, not an 18+ poem

Despite the title

Of anything hot, sleazy, or swoony

Nothing too \'exciting\' now, advises Fido!

 

It\'s me in my illness

Not knowing if I will have a night sweat or not

And I\'m not the only one

Infirm in the house

I know the real cause for me - 

Nightmares of KP and her trout-like advances!

Sends me into a twirl

A sort of hot flush

 

Have to wash the sheets yet

All yucky and soaking

Even change them in middle of the night

 

I\'ve resumed some singing though

Ahh - \'so you\'re not getting better\', you say

We\'re all mucking in

The sick, or just-recovered ones

Helping the other sick ones

 

We can\'t blame the month in itself

As a \'mensis horribilis\'

(Mensis - Latin for month, singular)

Though it happened

It all started off the end of last month
